Abstract

Various improvements in flow-injection systems involving on-line separation and preconcentration by gas diffusion, ion-exchange and liquid—liquid extraction are reviewed and their merits are discussed. On-line preconcentration systems based on gas diffusion are described for the spectrophotometric determination of cyanide, fluoride and ammonia. Different gas/liquid separation devices for hydride-generation and cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (a.a.s.) are compared. Systems are outlined for on-line column preconcentration of cobalt, nickel, vanadium, beryllium and cerium for inductively-coupled plasma/atomic emission spectrometry, and for combinations of column preconcentration with hydride-generation and cold-vapour a.a.s for the determination of ultratrace selenium and mercury. An on-line liquid—liquid extraction/flame a.a.s. system capable of achieving 60-fold enhancement for lead is reported; the limit of detection is 0.02 μg ml −.
